Congratulations, Waldorf Seniors!
by Stephen K. Sagarin, PhD - 01 Dec 2005
We are pleased to announce that our senior class contains a student ìCommendedî for outstanding performance on the PSAT and SAT tests: Caitlin Blau. She is the daughter of Ann Sagarin, Third Grade teacher. Caitlin, we note, also scored a perfect 800 on the verbal section of her SAT.
Overall, the class performed outstandingly on standardized tests. Virtually every score for every student is above national averages. Overall averages are:
Verbal 646
Math 544
Writing 606
Those who recall taking the SAT in their youth remember two sections of the test, Verbal and Math. The Educational Testing Service last year added a third component test in writing.
The Great Barrington Waldorf High School is a rigorous, college preparatory school but it does not coach or prepare for the SAT other than a six week period of review and test familiarization classes three times a week in eleventh grade.
Another student of note is Tavish Gallagher. Despite our lack of a baseball team, Tavish has worked hard on local American Legion and "Fall Ball" teams to be scouted and pursued as a pitcher by NCAA Division II and III baseball coaches.
We are proud of our seniorsí test scores and athletic prowess, but we are even prouder of the creative, thoughtful, mature young men and women the seniors have become. We expect them to do well in college admissions and, more importantly, in life.
